Dietary compromises related to food insecurity profoundly undermine health and constitute a serious public health issue, even in developed nations. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of food labelling and product attributes on the purchasing choices of food-insecure households in Australia. An online survey containing 19 food choice and 28 purchasing behaviours questions was completed by 1056 adults responsible for household grocery shopping. The short form of the US Household Food Security Survey Module was used as the food security indicator. Multinomial logistic regression modelling was employed to analyse the survey data. Respondents were classified as having either high-marginal (63.4%, = 670), low (19.8%, = 209) or very low (16.8%, = 177) food security. Respondents with low or very low food security status were less likely to self-report understanding the information on the back of packaging ( < 0.001), find information on food labels useful ( = 0.002) or be influenced by product nutrition information ( = 0.002). Convenience ( < 0.001), organic ( = 0.027) and supermarket-branded products ( < 0.001) were more likely to be rated as important by food-insecure respondents when compared to their food-secure counterparts. When asked to rate "how healthy" their diet was, high-marginal FS respondents were twice as likely describe their diet as healthy than very low FS respondents ( = 0.001).
由于食品不安全而导致的饮食妥协会严重损害健康，这是一个严重的公共卫生问题，即使在发达国家也是如此。本研究旨在探讨食品标签和产品属性对澳大利亚食品不安全家庭购买选择的影响。一项包含 19 个食品选择和 28 个购买行为问题的在线调查由 1056 名负责家庭杂货购物的成年人完成。使用美国家庭食品保障调查模块的简短形式作为食品保障指标。采用多项逻辑回归模型分析调查数据。受访者被分为高边缘（63.4%，= 670）、低（19.8%，= 209）或极低（16.8%，= 177）食品保障人群。低或极低食品保障人群不太可能报告自己理解包装背面的信息（<0.001），发现食品标签上的信息有用（= 0.002）或受产品营养信息的影响（= 0.002）。便利（<0.001）、有机（= 0.027）和超市自有品牌产品（<0.001）更有可能被食品不安全的受访者评为重要，而不是他们有保障的食物的同类产品。当被要求对他们的饮食健康程度进行评分时，高边缘 FS 受访者比极低 FS 受访者更有可能将他们的饮食描述为健康（= 0.001）。
